Create neutron user and add admin role
. admin-openrc
openstack user create --domain default --password-prompt neutron
openstack role add --project homelab --user neutron admin
Create service entity and end points
openstack service create --name neutron --description "OpenStack Networking" network
openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne network public http://controller:9696
openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne network internal http://controller:9696
openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne network admin http://controller:9696
Preferring to go with Self Service Networks option – Install the required components
